Clothing having an electromagnetic effect

ABSTRACT

Clothing used in the treatment of the pain through the effects of electric and magnetic fields. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the clothing includes a band having a conductive wire and two magnets at the ends of the band.

This invention is related to clothing for pain treatment through theeffects of the electric and magnetic fields.

As it is known, a current occurs as a reaction to the change in theconductors in a magnetic field where the flow is changed (Lentz Law).Furthermore, a difference in tension occurs in the conductors which aresubjected to a magnetic field and accommodate an electric current due tothe collection of the electrons to one side according to the magneticcurrent (Hall effect). Similarly the motions of the loaded particleschange in the conductors in the electric fields.

The organisms including human beings which consist of water comprising75% of melted salts are substantially complicated electrolyte systems.In these organisms, liquids like blood plasma are in close connectionwith the cells and the nerve cells which are called as neurons.Similarly, cytoplasm in neurons comprises dissolved potassium chloride(KCl). The solution gains the prospect of electrical conductivity due tothe dissolved K⁺ and Cl⁻ ions. In case a tension V (Volt) is applied toa solution generally called as electrolyte, it will put up a definiteamount of resistance R (Ohm) against the electric current I (Ampere)(Ohm Law). This results in a temperature in direct proportion with thesquare of the current and the resistance in the conductor. The negativeloaded ions which take the place of electrons in the metals provide theelectrolyte with above mentioned prospects under the effect of themagnetic and electric field.

The effects of the magnetic and electric fields described above on theorganisms are known for several years. In this purpose variousmedicaments, pain relieving methods known as magnetotherapy andelectrotherapy and related means have been developed.

In the state of art, U.S. Pat. No. 4,480,596 defines an elastic beltwhich exposes the waist part of the body to the magnetic current. Inthis invention, many a temporary magnets which can be fixed and removedfrom the belt are utilized as the source of magnetism.

In the prior art, CH1184616 discloses a clothing without sleevescomprising two layer of leather and magnetic particles.

GB2377179 describes a wristband at two open ends of which temporarymagnets are attached. In this invention, a metal plate which is madepreferably of stainless steel and does not have a magnetic prospect isprobably placed in the housings where the magnets are attached. Thepoles of the magnets are opposite to each other.

A pant comprising 24 bio-magnets is shown in URL addresshttp://www.buyamag.com/cpi-bin/html/panties.htm.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,765,310 as another embodiment discloses a device used inthe treatment by means of the common effect of a magnetic field made ofa magnet and an electric field connected to the difference in tensioncaused by a magnet on a coil.

GB2368287 defines a long nucleus which can be induced magnetically and adevice comprising an insulated conductive wire wrapped around the saidnucleus. In this invention the said wire grabs the electric currenttransmitted from the body and induces a magnetic field which is utilizedfor the treatment of the body. This invention can be added to clothing.Furthermore, the nucleus material can be weaved as a grid and used as anelastic band.

In the conventional applications, many complicated embodiments have beenused. In addition these embodiments utilized from the electric field andthe magnetic field separately, and in those which utilized the both manydifficulties were encountered.

The object of this invention is to realize clothing easy to produce andpurchase having a simple structure for the fast and efficient paintreatment using both the magnetic and electric field.

The clothing realized in order to attain above mentioned objects of thepresent invention has been illustrated in the attached drawings,wherein;

FIG. 1 is a cross view of the clothing,

FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the clothing,

FIG. 3 is a cross section view of the clothing.

The components shown in the figures have been enumerated as below;

1. Clothing

2. Band

3. Wire

4. Pocket

5. Magnet

6. Holder

The clothing (1) which is the subject of this invention for the paintreatment can be produced as trousers, pants, skirt and etc.

There is a wire (3) or a band (2) comprising a strip in the waist partof the clothing (1). The said band is preferably elastic. In order toplace the wire on the band, a wire can be weaved together with anothertype of thread (FIG. 3) or the wire can be attached by means of pastingon the fabric or any other methods. The conductive wire (3) can extendalong the total length of the band (FIG. 2) or may not extent to someextent. If the conductive wire (3) extends along the total length of theband, an edge of the band should be left open to prevent short circuit.In order to avoid the contact of the wire with the skin, the band can becovered by an insulated material or the distance between the wire andthe skin may be increased via a thread thicker than the wire.

The wire used in every band is produced preferably from a ductile metalwhich has a high conductivity coefficient like copper and gold. Thezigzag or sinusoidal, wavy application of the wire instead of a straightway prevents the wire from being broken during the movements of thebody. In another embodiment of the invention the wire can be used asserial or parallel connection.

In any case, preferably two magnets (5) are placed in the open ends ofthe band (2) or the part lacking the wire. These magnets (5) arepreferably attached to the pockets (4). These pockets (4) are formed bybeing folded and sewed from the ends of the band (FIG. 2). On the otherhand it may be formed by adding another fabric which enables theformation of more than one pocket and replace or various use of themagnets on the clothing. The magnets should be placed according to thebody part where the pain will be treated. For example, in order torelieve the menstruation pains, magnets are placed to the front part ofthe body and especially very close to the ovular. When the back painsare treated, the said magnets are placed on the back part of the body.

Magnets (5) having a thickness of 0.5-13000 and preferably 12500 Gaussare preferred. It is important that the thickness of the magnets is0.05-10 mm. The magnets can be in a circle, square, triangle, etc.shape. A magnet in a metal nucleus form induced by an electric sourcecan also be used. The poles of the magnets (polarizations) arepreferably the same, but may differ as well.

If two ends of the band are used open, these said ends are hold togetherby means of a holder (6) passing through the pockets (FIG. 1 and 2).Since the distance between two ends of the holder or the band determinesthe current and the effect field of the magnets, the said distanceshould be determined according to the intensity of the pains in thebody. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the said distance is0.5-50 mm.

In another embodiment of the invention, the said holder (6) is formed ina way that its width can be adjusted like a belt to allow the adjustmentof the band length and distance according to the intensity of the painsand sizes of the users.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the clothing is made of acotton fabric.

In another embodiment of the invention, the clothing is produced asunderpants and of disposable material for the disposal of the producteasily by the user. The said disposable material can be based oncelluloses and/or plastic. Furthermore a hygienic pad can be added tothe crotch of the product.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the clothing is in a form ofunderpants made of cotton fabric. The band is produced as rubber by wavyweaving of a synthetic thread with a thin wire. Afterwards the ends arefolded and sewed to form pockets. Each magnet is placed in these pocketswith their poles in the same direction and two ends of the band arejoined by means of the holder through the pockets. The band is sewed tothe underpants in a way that the magnets face with the front part.

The clothing which is the subject of the invention provides thetreatment of various pains and especially the pains in ovular during themenstruation period. The user who wears the clothing which is thesubject of the invention has a magnetic field formed by the magnets inthe pockets efficient on the ovular area. This area affects themovements of the potassium chloride ions in the neurons and blood plasmain the ovular. Furthermore a current arises in the conductive copperwire induced by the magnets and the said current contributes to theformation of a magnetic and electric field. This double effect can bebeneficial in the treatment of the pains. It has observed in the usershaving severe menstruation pains that the pains are relieved in 45-60minutes.

The clothing which is the subject of the invention is realized to beefficient in the treatment or reduction of the pains through the effectsof the electric and magnetic field. The production of this clothing iseasy and cost saving.
